Throwers raise $6,713 for Darian ‘Hump’ Jackson

Milam County Throwers (formerly known as Milam County Washer Throwers) held a benefit Sunday at the Rockdale VFW for Darian “Hump” Jackson, a 10-year-old boy who has been in the hospital with encephalitis since August 2021. The total raised was $6,713. This was all monies raised by selling barbecue plates, having a 50/50 fundraiser, silent auction and tournaments. There were 200 barbecue plates pre-sold and then about 20 extra plates along with sausage wraps.

Speaking words of wisdom, ‘Let it be’

It is interesting to me that in the Gospel of Matthew, when Jesus, for the very first time, makes his will known, that he finds resistance. Jesus came to be baptized by John, but “John would have prevented him.” It is here that Jesus speaks for the first time in the New Testament: “Let it be so now....” The King James Version reads: “Suffer it to be so now.”
